International Health Fellowship: a proposed curriculum for emergency physicians.
J Emerg Med. 1997 Mar-Apr; 15(2):249-52.JE

Abstract

There are a growing number of emergency physicians (EPs) working in health care abroad. There are, however, no formal training programs for EPs in international health. An International Health Fellowship has been developed to provide training for EPs in public health and international medicine. The fundamental competencies of a fellow completing the International Health Fellowship include assessment of medical need, program development, integration of programs into the existing health care framework, and evaluation of projects. This article outlines the philosophy of a training program in international health, provides an overview of the goals and objectives for such a program, and describes the development of an existing fellowship. The International Health Fellowship will develop leaders in the field of global health by combining clinical expertise, practical field experience, formal public health training, and research and education in international health. Physicians completing a fellowship will be prepared to work within foreign health systems to develop, integrate, and evaluate health care programs on an international scale.
